Post #3 - August 26th, 2011, 12:14 pmIf they don't care about bone in Costco has decent short ribs. I've also had good luck with ones from Chicago Meat Market at 3021 N Cicero Ave. Butcher & Larder has great ones as well, that might be less than $9/lb. He could also just go there and ask Rob for a suggestion for another cut to use for the dish and I'm sure he'd get something of great quality for less than $9/lb.It is VERY important to be smart when you're doing something stupid

If you want the Asian style cut, you can generally get them at Super H mart for under $3/lb. By Asian stle, I mean cut accross the bone 1/2-3/4" thick.

How did you prepare those? They look great!I used to think the brain was the most important part of the body. Then I realized who was telling me that.

I've found Peoria's to be overly fatty.
Was just at Fresh Farms in Niles and they have some nice looking ones for 3.49/lb this week...reg price is 3.99 (I think).

Post #19 - November 6th, 2015, 7:11 pmI'll be smoking some tomorrow, as it will be clear and warm for November, and we have some out-of-town guests. I picked mine up today at Park Packing on 41st and Ashland--it's akin to Peoria, as you walk into a big cold room and put on disposable gloves to dump piles of meat into bags, though somehow it's a bit less nice than Peoria, which I sorta like. They had chuck and plate short ribs underneath the briskets, not at all labeled, and cheap at only 2.69 a pound. They come in large cryovac packages of about five ribs each, but if you ask, they'll cut those open and give you as much as you like.
